Just a quick note... FOOD & WINE magazine included a picture of our kitchen in a piece entitled, Food Bloggers' Best Kitchen Design Ideas (page 56) in their January 2011 issue. It came out while Trina was in the hospital, so we've just picked up a copy ourselves. Here's the digital versionas shown on their web site.

Mike, first off I think it is just wonderful that you are stepping in for Trina, to keep us updated. We all love news of your home and family. I just went to the link and they published my favorite pic of your kitchen. So cool! And how exciting! Hope you are all doing well. Have a Happy New Year! Kit in Montana

Congratulations on being published! An appropriate compliment to the hard work you've done on your fantastic home. Thinking of you and imaging that your best gifts were the two that arrived before Santa Claus arrived! Hope all is well with the four of you.~Adrienne~

Oh so happy for you all! Glad to know that they also recognize superb taste, even though at least one of the other featured kitchens was a bit questionable. Hope you all are love, love, loving on those babies and staying tucked in and warm. Thinking about you and sending prayers for rest, comfort, and joy your way!

Good to see that Food and Wine has gotten so smart!!!! Your entire house should be featured in magazines. Hope Trina and twins are doing well. We cannot wait to hear from her. Thinking of you all during this holday season. I know it is one you will remember forever!

You guys make a great team.... remodeling, design, the babies, and now Mike jumping in with the blog. Way to go! Congrats on the magazine. It's a good reminder for me that the hard work pays off, especially since I just spent six hours with my teenage son salvaging wall paneling out of an old home!J in WA :)

Dear Mike, you are one great husband to pitch in with Trina's blog. Engineers are the best! You and Trina have done an incredible job with your house and landscaping. Happy New Year wishes to you, Trina, and the precious babies.

What a wonderful compliment for you both after all your hard work! I was able to see my daughter with the 4 yr old boy and the twin 19 mons. old boys over Christmas - what fun they are - it is still a little crazy but a sense of humor comes in very handy! God bless you all in this new year!

Congrats. I, too, knew right away that was your kitchen. I love to cook and have to tell you that doing so in your kitchen, so simple and lovely, would be just this side of heaven. (And I have a pretty great kitchen myself!) You have proven beyond a doubt that a beautiful home is about quality not quantity and all in the details.

I'm an interior designer from Melbourne, Australia - I loved your blog, I found it very inspiring. This is all new to me but I have just set up my own blogscrapbook-melissah.blogspot.comYou may like to check it out because I had so much fun doing it.Thanks for providing me with such great entertainment!Cheers Melissah

It took me am 11 hour road trip last weekend to finally dig into the January issue of F&W - I dogeared your page and am thrilled to see you have a blog! Your house is simply gorgeous, and its inspiring to see all that you've done with it. Your kitchen makes me swoon - and has convinced me that the Ikea butcher block counter tops are the way to go whenever we get to tackling our own kitchen renovation. Looking forward to following your blog.
